Microboot ISOs would be cool. When I was trying to use OpenBSD, I spent
a lot of time making coasters trying to get a bootable CD made since that
machine had no floppy, and I wasn't prepared to netboot it.
Further, when I install debian, I only use the debian CDs I have (which are
long out of date) to get the process started, then everything is gotten
from the net. So, to be able to download a 20-50meg ISO just to replace
boot floppies would have been enough for me.
I only have 3 working floppy drives out of all my machines. I take that
back, I haven't attempted to use the floppies in my Macs yet.
